Craftsman is very popular here for home use and the weekend DIY crowd.
like I said, they sell 4 'grades'. Ok, good, better, and best.
Depends what and how you use them.

Bob feels he has to buy '' high end'' expensive tools to make up for
his lack of skills.

Craftsman is in the lowest end here Scootz, only stuff lower cost it
the Chinese gear that the chain harware like Bunnings carry.

We don't get Sears here, so I have no comparison save to say that
I'd
never buy a Ryobi drill. Mine are Metabo, Milwaukee,Makita and
DeWalt.
Plastic gears are just not gonna cut it.

Ozzy, you think Craftsman is cheap stuff? They usually make 3 or
4
grades of a tool and price them accordingly. The Ryobi drill I
looked
at was crappier than the Sears one.

Bought a Craftsman ( who knows where they're really built?),

Potti is the
worst kind of dumbass...a cheap one!

Ummmm Bubbles have you ever looked at the economics of buying
cheap
non precision tools?
Realistically you can buy a new one every two years and be no
worse
off than having bought an expensive tool over its lifespan with
the
bonus that you get new innovations as they come onto the market.

We buy Ryobi sabre saws at $130 for the boys. They wear out about
3
times faster than the $600 Metabo.
